Tongariro Circuit ~ the last two days

Post navigation

After the excitement of the Crossing day, it was a bit less exciting to hike out. The walk to the last hut was very pleasant though. Sabrina’s feet were a MESS, blisters and bruises on her heels and toes… So the last day we took the shortest route out and went to the road. Luke took the regular loop trail and fetched the car so he could pick us up. New boots are definitely in the cards for Sabrina…
